Culinary Corner

Our mission: communicate evidence-based nutrition and cooking principles to the UND campus in a fun and applicable way.

Culinary Corner is the demonstration kitchen located on the first floor of the UND Wellness Center. Classes are open to students, Wellness Center members, faculty and staff of the University as well as University friends. Our instructors range from students to guest chefs and each has their own specialty. Whether they make sushi or homemade pizza, you will learn culinary skills and tips on healthy eating.

If a can opener is your standard kitchen appliance, or you always burn microwave popcorn, our classes are for you! Kitchen mishaps are just part of the fun, and we’ll be sure that you never leave empty handed.

Food items being made in class will be posted to the calendar below and to the online registration portal about 2 weeks prior to class.

Cooking Classes

Cooking classes are available most days of the week at the Culinary Corner demonstration kitchen. The classes are led by our culinary instructors, UND nutrition students, some guest chefs from the community. All classes are available to students, faculty, staff and community members. All cooking classes give you the chance to learn cooking skills, healthy meal choices and provide a new recipe to take home.

Cheap, Fast & Healthy

The Cheap, Fast, & Healthy Classes are 30 minutes and FREE to attend if you are a Wellness Center member. Each week presents a different recipe and provides you taste of that healthy recipe!

Cookin' with the Kiddos

An important part of learning how to take care of yourself is eating fresh, healthy foods. Cookin' with the Kiddos will use fun, creative kid-friendly recipes to help increase their awareness, appreciation and knowledge of healthy eating while making it fun to eat their veggies!

Kiddos aged 4-9 is the target group, but if you have kiddos outside that range that want to participate and can handle some kitchen tasks are welcome too!

Reserve the Kitchen!

Culinary team-building is currently one of the hottest trends in the area of enhancing a group’s performance. Much like the ingredients in a recipe, each member performs a unique role within the organization, yet is dependent on other members to achieve both short-term objectives and long-term goals. Reserve the kitchen for your event whether you are UND students, faculty, staff, or community members. It is open to everyone! The Culinary Corner is the only demonstration kitchen in the Greater Grand Forks that offers these wonderful culinary team-building activities.
